It's not changed anything for me that wouldn't be changed for the straights.

Maybe if immigrants are prevented from coming we can just shift our unemployed Americans to pick apples and strawberries?

I'll have to cover my gorgeous full lips and impish smile under a mask if I go anywhere.

Not that I do go anywhere, much, mind. But when I do, I really enjoy being a cold-hearted cocktease.

Here's an interesting article on a United Nations warning about incoming famine.

Coronavirus pandemic will cause global famines of 'biblical proportions,' UN warns (CNN; April 22, 2020)

It's very possible more people will ultimately die from secondary effects, like famine, than from the virus itself.

I been too lazy and bored to trim or shave my pubes ---mostly because I'm not hooking up with my two fuck buddies---decided to really quarantine ---will need a weed wacker when this is all over...if its ever over. I have a real close group of friends and we socialize all the time--especially during the nice warm months---miss the human interplay.

I still like the feel of shaved balls, but have been letting the bush above my dick grow out - am quite pleased with the result.

Famine has followed plague like clockwork throughout history; we have no grounds to think today's world is immune. And almost as invariably, plague has surged again through the hungry.

I had a friend in college who thought the world could use a pandemic that would kill off half a billion people. I wonder what he's thinking right now.

Famine and plague are very slow and untidy processes in that regard, particularly when they still have to complete with the out of control birth rate.

However, if portions of populations become too infected to save, too much of a threat to the rest of the world, they will have to be annihilated.

Either starting to get self-aware... or reaffirming himself in that awareness.

And yet, Mother Nature enters the picture, and shows us something we had never even considered in our panic:

Air pollution falls by unprecedented levels in major global cities during coronavirus lockdowns (CNN; April 23, 2020)

Re: 2019 Coronavirus (COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2)

^^^

Less pollution in the lungs of those with respiratory issues and, by extension, cleaner air. In fact, clearer air for everyone. No small feat.

Humans see such a small part of the BIG PICTURE, it's a wonder we see anything at all. So, what does this information mean to us? (Rhetorical question, because all we do in these situations is speculate, speculate, speculate.) Lets see where the pollution index is in 3 more weeks.

@ never considered

Speaking only for yourself, of course.


I only skimmed your article as I've read many others.

Did it mention that it's been estimated that some hundreds of thousands of young and elderly have had their appointments with the Grim Reaper postponed due to cleaner air?

Hi Opinterph,

Since you split this discussion, would you like to weigh in on the criteria by which you distinguish the virus from its "secondary" effects?

Are secondary effects as important, and as such a reasonable part of discussion around the plague?

Is famine as important as plague? Does suicide merit attention as much as pneumonia?

Are these the sorts of thing we should discuss as a part of our approach to combating the virus?

Are they really separate issues?

If you think they are separate issues deserving separate threads, can you explain why?

I have to second this -- I don't know that the famine side-effect needs its own thread, especially when famine feeds back to disease, looping us back to the main topic.

Hopefully people will remember what the sky is supposed to look like and smell like, and demand more be done fast.
